70, by him while owned AZ Pi,uhsld,
are a remarkably good sized lot Of colts.
We have heard disparsging remarks
made concerning Carlyle size. he no,
being large himself. although Of quite
good height Ba, II we wished to raise
large colt. We would prefer TO breed to
an undsr-sizsd horse whose colts are all
large, than to breed to large horse
whose colts are oil small. for "by their
fruits, ye shall know them.
